How to Stay Healthy Despite Being Stuck at Home

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed peoples’ daily routines around the globe. Work, school, and other activities are carried within their homes. Social distancing was challenging enough, add to that are quarantines and threats of lockdown depending on each country. Good thing enough, caregivers already stay within their clients’ homes. As a Home Care Accreditation Consultant, we both care for our healthcare facility partners and clients, especially now that everyone is forced to stay at home except for medical staff.

Home Care Consultants prepare the following list of ways you can take advantage of home quarantine to stay healthy or improve your health:

Keep your home environment clean
If you need to go out for groceries or pharmacies, be mindful enough to immediately dispose of your risk of spreading the germs and viruses around the home by immediately washing your hands with soap for twenty minutes. Make sure to clean and disinfect most-touched surfaces.

Keep your workouts even virtually
It may be challenging if your fitness routine revolves around going to the gym. Fortunately, there are a lot of exercises you can do at home like taking a walk around the neighborhood, performing bodyweight exercises, or capitalize on paid apps that offer flexible live streams or recorded programs for people at every fitness level.

Stick to a meal schedule
It may be more tempting to reach snacks in the fridge now that you’re mostly at home but keep in mind following a healthy diet, regulating consumption, and avoiding take-out orders.
